Malvinkoekemans told me
"guy says he does analysis and made a 110 page on 100t
sends it to 100t and gets ghosted
makes a vlr post on how shitty 100t is
people and real coaches read his analysis and give him tips
he acts arrogant and basically says stfu
either greatest bait ever or mental retardation"
I wrote two 115 page guides. One was for Icebox, One was for FNC Haven. Everyone is upset that the introduction covers the maps. They are right that it is chatgpt produced. I asked chatgpt to describe the map. I mean I have a couple hundred hours on each of the maps, I wanted to see what chatgpt would produce. I'm sure a lot of people don't realize that chatgpt is trained on reddit. So I basically asked for reddits take on the things that make the map unique, a description around the theme and release date. It's funny because chatgpt is an accumulation of the critics opinions. They really got me there.
I then turn my attention to the players. I used rib.gg to produce the pictures the community so loves. I don't believe in watching film and producing reports because I think it is very easy for the opponents to change. The game is too fluid to be so concrete. However, I did the activity and catalogued it here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U02rpKLO580ozSZ04tqUrgYrfYfHlsE2?usp=drive_link
I basically analyzed the kill, death and movements of each player. Trying to capture where they enjoy to play and I assume that people enjoy to play where they are productive. And that information is shown in the heatmap. Once again, September 2024, Chatgpt didn't have the ability to analyze pictures. It is simply my words edited by chatgpt. I come from a professional background where communication is important. Chatgpt has phd level english writing skills. To not use it is irresponsible, especially a topic that is complex and I'm delivering information via text. I wouldn't want to lose anyone in my horrible writing (which is probably happening right now)
I then move on to general overviews of how they function as a team. I review the specifics around their agents because I think it is a good indication on how they will perform. You can accurately track tracker.gg data and amount of time played/performance to how they perform match day. I think some organizations know this because some players have made their data private.
Lastly, and probably the biggest critique I'm getting is that I don't have a big section around the opponents strategies. That's because I'm more of a behavioralist and believe that people follow successful patterns, especially when under pressure. So that section is light. I don't really take the comments seriously because I was them once. I believed you could perfectly understand your opponent and that they were static. I then got punished really hard in a match for that assumption. There are no books written about Valorant. No one has gone to school for Valorant. People are just repeating patterns that have been successful for them.
I also created a bunch of other material I released in the thread. I basically did this because I was given a platform to do so. I'm not a big believer in the current system that is being followed by majority of coaches. I've been around a long time. I've been through many iterations of esports. I know that the majority of Overwatch coaches were VOD recorders. I know the narrative about this contribution changed some how to them becoming experts. You can't tell me the past doesn't exist when I lived it.
In the end, I'm just hoping to change a couple people's views about how intellectual pursuits should be done. As a player, I would hope that my coaches were doing everything they can to help us win. If that means creating a 500 page document, let's get that done. These players have such a short time as pros because teams are flailing. I'm just offering a potential reason. I don't know why it caught fire. I didn't make anything up. I tried to stay away from people attacking what I created with no context. But yeah, at some point around 100 posts of people offering negative opinions, I had to stand up for what I thought was right. And that put me at the opposite end of established coaches with losing records. I wanted to point that out because it's hidden when you search it. You only see the accomplishments of coaches. When you actually dig deeper, players have way more of an impact than any coach. The facts track with that statement. But it will be attacked because it attacks the illusions that people have built. And it's reinforced by some really bad assumptions.
In Minecraft, pumpkin pie is a simple and useful food item you can craft. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
Pumpkin: You can find pumpkins in various biomes like plains or taiga or grow them from pumpkin seeds.
Sugar: Obtain by crafting sugarcane in the crafting grid.
Egg: Collect from chickens (chickens lay eggs naturally).
Crafting Steps:
Open a crafting table (3x3 crafting grid).
Place the ingredients in the grid:
Top row: Pumpkin in the first slot.
Middle row: Sugar in the second slot.
Bottom row: Egg in the third slot.
Take the pumpkin pie from the output slot.
Each pumpkin pie restores 8 hunger points (4 bars), making it a great food source.
The thing that upset ppl isn’t the document, it’s the attitude towards people that are giving legitimate constructive feedback and you acting like they are nobodies. Proven people who have made it to the positions you want to get to and could legitimately help you but you act like they have nothing to offer you when people like mce, anderzz, gentle m8s coach, and ec1s have made it T1.
Like mCe coached a team of young mostly rookie players to an international lan in their first year and when he offered you feedback you very falsely quoted a wrong W/L record to dismiss his advice.
Shoon, I would like you to go back to those comments and re-read them. They are punching down. I have done a lot of reading in my life and can tell the difference. And for some of the people on that list, they use really bad arguments to try to beat you into submission. I just find that sort of engagement boring.
The fact is that my work stood in stark contrast to theirs. There are a limited number of spots and this is a competitive space. I have been through this before. I know how it works.
You’ve been here before? Enlighten us, what teams have you coached or accomplishments as a player in Valorant? Or in any e-sport?
The only reason they are “punching down” is because you’re taking every piece of criticism as a personal attack. Did you ever think to reach out to one of them personally/privately so they could help you out with some feedback off of this public forum? Some of them seemed legitimately willing to help you but you have successfully turned literally every Valorant viewer against you by having a planet sized ego with nothing to back it up.🔝
i think the issue more so lies in you reducing proven coaches to wins and losses just to make a point, when majority of the coaches leaving feedback were constructive and genuinely were trying to lend a hand. it seemed more as if you were punching down at them than people punching down at you because they weren't good enough to critique you in your eyes.
You can’t pretend like using ChatGPT constitutes as more work.
Quality over Quantity is the most important standard in delivering constructive criticism much less a full fledged guide. It’s alright to have more research but you need to condense it down to the most important key points for players to be able to actually digest it.
you are so obsessed with this idea of becoming some analyst pioneer to the point where your work amounts to nothing but a pretentious publicity stunt that shines light on arguably one of the lowest priority issues in the val esports scene. take some accountability for once in your life and own up to what you could do better. it’s not a good look to destroy your own image in the eyes of a community you so desperately wanted to be behind your ideas
